That wasn't my point. For some reasons that I just can't fathom, most user-friendly linux distros are leading or bleeding edge and therefore unstable. Shouldn't an OS designed for non-technical users be STABLE? Why would grandma care if she is running the most up to date xorg or kernel? It should just work and work reliably, even if using 'out of date' packages.

If someone were to take Debian stable and add all the little bells and whistles that would make it user friendly then you would have a STABLE disto that would be ready for the general public, but I'm generalizing. So, Debian COULD be distributed to the general public, but in different clothes.

Sure, but isn't that how Ubuntu started?

I think the only way this will work is for 1 person to put together a distribution so there are no arguments or committees or anything that will disturb the vision.

Personally, I think that PC-BSD could be that desktop that people want since usually FreeBSD is quite stable.
